But, the Linux ipvs table does not get flushed on a pulse restart. So as long as your pulse configuration is correct, you can safely restart it, and all client connections will resume. Also make certain your backup pulse service is downed BEFORE restarting the primary pulse, so it won't failover -- it's an active-passive config, so you would LOSE the ipvs table by going over to the other server. Now if RHEL only included keepalived as part of piranha . . . I do wish that the nanny processes could be manually spawned, and at the very least, have some kind of command-line identifier so I know which is serving which, instead relying upon syslog messages.

I have restarted pulse with other protocols, and it is quick enough to resume the session, i.e. the keepalive on ssh, telnet, and other IP connections. Once in a while (usually from a misconfiguration), you might lose client connection because of the timing.

The problem I am having is when I change the configuration when adding a new site/VIP – I have to restart all nanny procs. The command ‘service pulse restart’ will not work for me. I get the following in my messages file: rereading configuration file pulse: pulse -HUP succeeded But the new nanny processes do not start up. I also tried “kill -1 pid” – but no joy. The only thing that will work is a “service pulse restart” – which is not good as there are several web servers live. Any ideas or suggestions would be great Thanks Mick <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <TABLE CELLPADDING="0"> <TR> <TD BGCOLOR="#ffffff"> *********************************************************************************************** This email, its contents and any files attached are a confidential communication and are intended only for the named addressees indicated in the message.
